About this episode

This is a really great low down on the Mexican (and overall Latin American) startup scene from someone who has experience in both San Francisco as well as Mexico.  We get into the specific challenges of what it means to raise money in Mexico and entrepreneurs there are limited by the old school capital. Highly recommend it if you are interested in global startups.

Welcome to the Crazy Wisdom podcast. Today my guest was Domingo Guerra, and Domingo has a lot of interesting things to say about what it means to start a company outside of Silicon Valley and also what it means to start a company inside of Silicon Valley, because he's done both. He originally is from Mexico, started the company there, and then came to San Francisco to grow it, and then it got it acquired as well. This is one of the first episodes I did. I did it back in San Francisco on what are the particular stresses of creating a company outside of Silicon Valley. And now that I've been in Colombia, I have gotten a much better understanding of that as well, particularly for the Latin American ecosystem. I'm going to be interested in doing similar things for the African, the European, the Asian and Australian ecosystems as well about what it means to start a company in all those places as well as the United States. I've already done a few episodes on that of places outside of Silicon Valley where people are starting companies. So I think you'll really enjoy this episode.

If you're really feeling generous, I would really appreciate it if you could leave us a review as well. And I'm on Twitter ewartalsopiii. My DMs are open. I'd love to hear from you, hear how these episodes are stimulating your intellectual curiosity, if at all. Hope you enjoy this one and have a great day. Thank you.
